Chapter 105 Psychic
Klein unscrewed the cap of the metal vial, brought it to his nose, and smelled a slightly stimulating but refreshing scent.
This is the "Holy Night Powder" made from deep sleep flowers, dragon's blood grass, crimson sandalwood, mint and other herbs. Because it is easy to make, after Klein replenished the materials in the underground trading market, he took the opportunity to get one. The bottle, now comes in handy.
He poured out part of the "Holy Night Powder" into the palm of his hand, and then settled his spirit, making his eyes darken.
Then, Klein put away the metal vial, twisted up the powder, poured spirituality into it, and sprinkled it on the ground.
As he sprinkled, he walked around Sirius' corpse.
An invisible wall was erected abruptly, isolating this place from the outside world.
Klein shook off the remaining "Holy Night Powder", took out another metal vial, and dripped the "Amanda" pure dew and other liquids in it to the surrounding in turn.
The order in which he arranged the ceremony was different from that when Old Neil was at Riel Bieber's house, because the things he wanted to pray for were different, and the goals he hoped to achieve were also different.
For example, Old Neil sprinkles the liquid first and then uses the "Holy Night Powder", which can create a tranquility and holiness second only to the formal altar, while Klein uses the "Holy Night Powder" first, and then sprinkles the liquid, because His purpose is simply to keep Sirius' remaining spirituality from being disturbed by the surroundings, and to have an environment that barely meets the demands of the ritual.
——If he switched to Old Neil's method, Sirius' residual spirituality would be expelled, and communication would not be possible at all.
After doing all this, Klein put away the materials, maintained a state of meditation, and whispered the incantation written in Hermes:
"I pray for the strength of the night;"
"I pray for the hidden power;"
"I pray for the blessing of the goddess."
"I beg you to let me communicate spiritually with the cultists inside the altar."
...
As the incantation reverberated in the sealed environment, Klein suddenly felt a majestic, terrifying, and hidden power coming.
His pupils turned completely black, as if he had lost his pupils and the whites of his eyes.
Seizing this opportunity, Klein recited the "divination statement" in his heart:
"The recipe for the clown potion."
"The recipe for the clown potion."
...
During the meditation, he used meditation to briefly enter the dream, and entered the dream while standing.
In the gray world without the sky and the earth, Klein stared at a transparent and illusory figure with unusual sobriety this time.
He stretched out his right hand and touched the remaining spirit of Sirius.
With a bang, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
It was a desk painted with dark red paint, and there stood a silver candlestick holding three candles, and there was a blank page of letter paper.
Sirius is holding a pen and writing in the common Ruen language:
"This is the second recipe, and the name recorded in the notes is 'Joker'."
"80ml of pure water, 5 drops of mandala juice, 7 grams of black-sided sunflower powder, 10 grams of golden cloak grass powder, 3 drops of poison violet juice, the above are auxiliary materials."
"The main and extraordinary materials are: a single horn crystal of an adult Hornakis gray goat, and a rose with a complete human face."
Sirius didn't seem to need to think about it, he just finished writing the recipe for the clown potion.
At this moment, he paused for a while, took a sip of coffee, and then untied the silver pendant wrapped around his wrist.
He held the pendant, half-closed his eyes, and muttered words and sentences such as "Doomsday", "Peace of Heart", "May God Bless", and "Repent to You".
After Sirius finished praying, Klein finally saw what the pendant looked like.
Below the silver bracelet, which is fastened by one ring, there is a human figure the size of a thumb.
This statue has the unique vertical eye of a giant, its head is down, and its feet are bound by chains and connected to the top.
At this moment, the giant's vertical single eye suddenly flashed a blood-red shimmer.
Click!
The scene that Klein saw shattered in an instant, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
He felt the pain of being slapped on his head. Klein's eyes were full of blood, and his hands involuntarily rested on his knees.
After a few seconds, he slowed down and stood up again, only to feel that his spirituality was extremely weak, and he seemed to hear a whisper that pierced his spirit again.
However, thanks to the progress of his "digestion" of the potion, the abnormal reaction soon calmed down.
"The hanging giant, the true creator... Sirius and Hynas are members of the Aurora Society? However, what the captain saw in Hynas Vancent's dream was a huge cross, which was nailed to the cross upside down. The terrifying existence above is not the 'hanged giant' of the Aurora Society..." Klein took two deep breaths, waiting for the slow recovery of his spirituality.
The Aurora Society is a secret organization that has only appeared in the last two or three hundred years. They worship the "true creator" and use the hanging giant as a symbol of existence. They believe that everyone has divinity, as long as the spirit is tough enough to withstand Live the test again and again, then you can accumulate rich divinity and become an angel.
According to the internal records of the night watchman, the Sequence 9 mastered by the Aurora Society is called "Secret Prayer". These Beyonders can detect the existence of some mysterious and terrifying, and have mastered a certain knowledge of sacrifice and a small amount of ritual magic. There is enough evidence to show that, Senior "Secret Prayer" will have more or less distortions in their cognitive views, and it is easy to lose control.
The Sequence 7 mastered by the Aurora Club is unknown, and the Sequence 8 is a "listener", which belongs to a rather terrifying extraordinary "occupation":
Each "listener" can directly hear the whispers of the corresponding hidden existence, so they can often gain a lot of powerful, distorted, and unique abilities, but correspondingly, if the "listener" cannot be promoted, Then it is very difficult for them to survive for more than five years. In addition, the evaluation given by the internal information of the Nighthawks is that all "listeners" are lunatics, and even if they behave normally, they must be hidden lunatics.
Klein quickly went through the information of the Aurora Society in his mind, and preliminarily judged that Sirius was the "Secret Prayer".
"Judging from the description, the secret prayer and the fortune teller are just as bad in the encounter. This is in line with Sirius' performance. Later, the serious injury caused the loss of control? Well, Frye said that after each Extraordinary dies, more or less At least there will be some strange changes..." Klein nodded four times on his chest while thinking, praising the goddess.
Immediately afterwards, his spirituality had recovered a little, and he ended the ritual in order and untied the sealed spirituality wall.
With the whistling wind blowing, Klein forced himself to look at Sirius' corpse again.
He noticed that there was still an obvious sarcoma on Sirius' bloody face, a dark purple and nearly black sarcoma that seemed to have liquid and light shaking inside.
"What exactly is this change?" Klein rubbed his temples, not daring to touch them.
He bent over to pick up the cane, letting the other person bear some of the weight of his body.
After the backlash change just now, he knew that Sirius' remaining spirituality had been completely destroyed, and even Daley the "Psychic" would not be able to communicate with the other party.
After waiting for a while, Klein waited for Captain Dunn and teammates Leonard and Kernley.
"I feel that you have a fateful bond with Beyonders and evil forces. You have encountered more extraordinary events during this period than we have seen in the previous season." Leonard glanced at the corpse on the ground, as if A casual joke.
"Perhaps it's not a coincidence." Klein suddenly thought of the red chimney he saw in "Dream Divination", and the majestic palace and invisible gaze on the main peak of the Hornakis Mountains that he saw last time, so he took the opportunity to click.
Dunn looked around, looked at Klein with dark gray eyes and said:
"Have you tried channeling?"
The smell of "Holy Night Powder" and pure dew essential oil still remained on the scene.
"Yes." Klein replied calmly, "I'm worried that your arrival is too late, and the remaining spirituality is showing signs of dissipating."
"Looking at your condition, isn't it too good?" The short Keenli said with concern.
Klein handed the letter that Sirius had not yet sent to the captain, and said from the beginning:
"When I went to the underground trading market to buy the materials for the ceremony, I suddenly thought that Selena had been to the Dragon Bar, and it was Hynas Vancent who led her in, which showed that Hynas was a frequent visitor there, so, I suspect that the gentleman in the portrait, the gentleman who has a certain relationship with Haines, may have also been to the underground trading market."
"I asked the boss Swain with the portrait, and he gave a positive answer, telling me that this gentleman tried to buy cultural relics and ancient books related to the main peak of Honages, which reminded me of this, and I was borrowing the corresponding journal. magazine, someone just returned it..."
Leonard smiled and listened, and suddenly interrupted:
"So you came here with your trainee inspector's credentials and the badge of the Special Operations Department to investigate the loan records of those journals? Actually, I'm curious, why did you conflict with this gentleman? Even if you met directly, with your The way of doing things, you should also pretend that you don’t know each other, leave the library as soon as possible, and go to Zoetland Street to find us for help.”
"Yes, you don't need to take risks, as long as you have determined the target, as long as he has not left Tingen, there will always be a way to find it later." Dunn, who was browsing the letters, added.
Klein was suddenly a little embarrassed:
"The librarians recognized him and called out to the officers for help."
"I can't pretend I didn't hear..."
Leonard and Kernli looked at each other immediately, one didn't hide his smile, and the other turned his head to the side.
Dunn nodded lightly, looked away from the letter and said:
"What's the gain of psychic?"
"I saw a pendant carved with an upside-down giant, and saw the giant's one eye flashed blood red, and then I quit the ceremony." Klein described truthfully.
He didn't say anything about the "clown" potion for the time being, which was based on two considerations:
On the one hand, if Dunn and the others can find the corresponding records from Sirius' hideout in the follow-up investigation, then there is no difference between what he said and what he did not say, and no extra credit will be added.
On the other hand, if Dunn and others don't find it, he can find an opportunity to report it in the future, and accumulate more credit for applying for materials and preparing potions. This is the method of dividing one credit into two. Er's words and deeds during this period.
"The Aurora Club?" Dunn murmured thoughtfully, then asked some related questions.
After Klein answered one by one, he glanced at the other party's tired expression, raised his cane and said:
"Yes, you destroyed a conspiracy against Tingen City, you can go back to rest, Kornley, you go to Old Neil."
After giving the order, Dunn shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"Before Sequence 6, Beyonders of the 'Sleepless' pathway lacked many auxiliary abilities, and even ritual magic could only master the simplest and most basic ones."
"Captain, what do you mean, starting from Sequence 6, Beyonders of the 'Insomniac' pathway will be enhanced accordingly?" Klein asked curiously.
"Well." Dunn gave a positive answer.
…………
After leaving the Deville Library, Klein, who took the public carriage back to Daffodil Street, almost fell asleep several times on the way.
He forced himself into the door, took off his hat, took off his coat, and slept on the sofa.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly woke up, took out his pocket watch, and snapped it open.
"Melissa has half an hour to come back, Benson has forty or fifty minutes... They have to wait an hour and a half before they can have dinner..." Klein rubbed his forehead and walked into the kitchen.
He first washed his face with cold water, and then took out the oxtail, tomatoes, carrots and onions that he had bought at noon.
After finishing the preparations, he was suddenly a little stunned, always feeling that this did not match what happened in the afternoon.
"I'm the man who just saved Tingen City..." Klein muttered funnyly, put on a white apron, picked up the kitchen knife, and started busy.
